I’m Marquis in Great Tang

In mid-October, the weather gets cooler and cooler.

After everything is set up in Du Qi’s camp, it is already ready, waiting for Li Shimin’s army to arrive.

This day, it was almost noon.

Du Qi got news that the army led by Li Shimin was approaching. Du Qi immediately took the people and personally went to the camp gate to command. About a quarter of an hour later, Li Shimin’s army had already moved closer. Li Shimin this time, never came forward to shout in person or shouted anything, so he gave the order to attack.

After all, Li Shimin had already arranged it before, so the army under his command was divided into eight teams in an orderly manner, and quickly moved along the camp to form an encirclement. After that, the eight troops launched an attack at the same time. .

“Kill!”

There were shouts of killing.

A group of Tang Army soldiers launched an attack.

Li Shimin personally beat the drums to cheer for his subordinates. With the sound of war drums, the whole camp has been burning with flames, and waves of Tang Army continue to attack. However, Du Qi did not panic in such a scattered attack. Because the army in Du Qi camp responded quickly, and then dispersed the blockade.

There are not many troops responsible for the interception. Except for the troops at the entrance of the camp, the troops in the other directions, each with only three thousand soldiers, all intercepted.

Three thousand to twenty thousand, the strength is very different, but there are fences around the camp, and the Tang Army does not come in immediately. Three thousand soldiers quickly built fortifications, except for mortars one after another, and began to bombard quickly to block the offensive Tang Army soldiers.

After the war broke out, it was still a battle of defense.

Du Qi did not worry about Li Shimin’s arrangement. Because Li Shimin seems to have chosen a smart offensive method, even according to Li Shimin’s offensive method, as long as one or two places have achieved a breakthrough, then his army can enter the camp, and then like a spark, Formed an offensive everywhere, inside and outside to attack Du Qi.

The problem is that Li Shimin’s army can break through the line of defense, otherwise everything is impossible. In particular, Li Shimin’s arrangement is actually similar to Li Ji’s original arrangement in Jiuquan.

When Li Ji was in Jiuquan, he divided his troops and broke through, but he was severely blocked and the entire army was wiped out.

Now Li Shimin’s army is not a breakthrough or an offensive, but the offensive is not easy to form. Faced with constant shelling and defenses formed everywhere, it is simply impossible to break through and enter the camp quickly. .

The defense continues everywhere.

Du Qi still sits in the front camp, commanding calmly.

To this day, Du Qi’s side forces are still sufficient. In addition to the troops dispatched to resist, there are actually more than 70,000 people under his command that can be dispatched.

So Du Qi didn’t panic at all.

Du Qi is not in a hurry, but Li Shimin is in a hurry. In addition to more than 10,000 people around him, the rest of the troops have been dispatched to attack, and all the troops under his command are equipped with Gunpowder. This Gunpowder is not used to kill the enemy, but to blow up the fence so that it can enter the camp.

Li Shimin waited for the fight for an hour, and none of the people who sent out returned a good news. He became a little nervous in his heart and directly passed the order to order the troops everywhere to spare no effort to attack.

It’s just this urging order, which has little effect.

Li Shimin looked towards Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others on the side, and said: “Now that you want to encourage soldiers to break Du Qi’s defense, what should you do now? You have a strategy to break the enemy.”

Fang Xuanling flashed a light in his eyes and said: “His Majesty can only increase the reward, when a high reward is offered, brave men will come forward. Only when a high reward is offered, brave men will come forward. A chance for success.”

Wei Zheng echoed: “His Majesty, the minister seconded.”

The rest also agreed.

The people who stay with Li Shimin today are mainly civilian officials, and the generals have been scattered everywhere to direct the war.

Li Shimin listened to everyone’s words, clenched his hands into fists, and then released them again, ordered: “Through my order, this battle will attack Du Qi camp, take the lead in the breakthrough defense line, and enter Du Qi. For campers, the master will grant the National Duke Nobility Rank, and the rest will be upgraded to Level 3.”

“If you enter the camp of Du Qi, kill Du Qi’s General, or kill Du Qi. Among the key cabinet members under his command, the chief commander appointed Prince of County hereditary, and the rest of the non-commissioned officers were promoted to Level 3. If there were those who beheaded or captured Du Qi alive, they were directly appointed the king, and the remaining non-commissioned officers were promoted to Level 3.”

Li Shimin said: “Immediately inform the lieutenant.”

The messenger will immediately arrange it.

Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and the others, the expressions on each of their faces are all with a touch of amazement, because the awards given by Li Shimin this time are really generous. You must know that Li Shimin became the emperor. Later, the Nobility Rank of small official members of the day was adjusted.

In the Li Yuan period, let alone a duke, there were many different surnamed Wang. After Li Shimin’s adjustments, National Duke is rarely used, and the surnamed Wang is Du Qi. The rest of the clan are mostly Prince of County, and impossible is the prince. However, this time, Li Shimin is a Nobility Rank broadcast. It is extremely rare to give many Nobility Ranks.

As the order was passed on, the soldiers of Great Tang became excited. Because this promotion is not only for the main general, all soldiers have opportunities, so everyone is excited and keeps attacking.

Tang Army offensive, fierce for a while.

The situation that was originally held firmly, at this moment, it was almost impossible to hold.

Du Qi still didn’t panic at all, he once again dispatched troops, and once again dispatched 3,000 troops everywhere. As the new force intervenes in this battle, the originally precarious defense has once again become stable. Even though the Tang Army is on the offensive, the Xia Country army’s defensive line is guarded not one drop of water can leak out, temporarily blocking the Tang Army’s offense.

So far, Du Qi dispatched nearly 50,000 people to participate in the war.

It is also defensive.

If you fight head-on, Du Qi’s 50,000 troops will be extremely difficult to withstand the 150,000-60,000 Tang Army attack. Even so, with the fight against the ebbing of time, in the evening, Du Qi’s defense gradually became tired again, and the Tang Army’s offense could not be concealed.

The Tang Army offensive has become more and more fierce.

Many defensive lines have begun hand-to-hand combat, and Tang Army and Xia Country troops are fighting.

This situation was summarized in front of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin’s face was full of smiles. He and Du Qi have been fighting for so long, and now they have finally gained an advantage. Even if Li Shimin knows that Du Qi has never spare no effort, Du Qi still has an army, but this momentum has been maintained, Du Qi will undoubtedly lose.

Li Shimin stroked his beard under his chin, looked towards side Fang Xuanling, smiled and said: “Fang Qing, we are right to divide our forces and attack. Now we are worried about the breakthrough line of defense and start to kill in the camp. Next, Du Qi’s defense line collapses. We can encircle Du Qi’s army here and wipe out Du Qi here. If we can win Du Qi, then my Great Tang and Xia Country confrontation, that’s The trend of offensive and defensive is reversed.”

Fang Xuanling smiled, but said nothing.

Li Shimin is a little floating!
